Changing email addresses and ID

When I set up my mac it was with one e-mail address for the cloud. That account is now defunct. How do I tell the cloud to use a different account and email address?

To change the primary email address for your ID see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. Note: you can't change the primary email address if it is an @mac, @me or @icloud address.
After changing the ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your changed ID. This only deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your data will reappear on your device with you sign back in.
If you are syncing your Mac with iCloud, you'll need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the changed ID.

HT201320 icloud - changing email address and password on iphone 4s

i have changed my apple email address and password but cannot change it on icloud on my phone .I have tried deleting the icloud account but cant because the password does not match the old email address . i have tried old passwords also.

Try putting the device in Airplane mode, may not work.
A restore of the device may be necessary. If Find My iPhone is enabled, it would be necessary to wipe the device via www.icloud.com if unable to disable the feature on the device.
Ideally, the user would delete the iCloud account on the device prior to changing the email account linked to it. Simply changing the password should not have resulted in this issue. It is most likely the combo of changing the email and password.

Changing email address, and reconfiguring iCloud

Hey you guys! I recently changed the email address that I was using for my iCloud. Now my iPhone still has the iCloud information with my old email address, and to change that, it appears that I have to delete the iCloud account and re-add it. The only problem is: when I try to delete the account, it asks me for my iCloud password, but it's still linked to the old email address, so even though my password is correct, the email address no longer is, and thus it tells me that the password is incorrect, and I can't delete the account, and reconfigure iCloud on my phone. Suggestions s'il vous plait?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Linking ipad, icloud, iphone and computer with changed email address and password?

I changed my email address and password on Apple and am now having trouble getting my ipad, iphone, icloud and computer to accept changes. What should I do? Thanks.

Hello gmille1,
It sounds like you no longer have access to the email address that is also your Apple ID and you cannot remember the password for it. According to the following article you may be able to reset the password either by answering your security questions or sending a password reset email to your rescue email address if you had one setup.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Answer your security questions
Select “Answer security questions,” then select Next.
Select your birth date, then select Next.
Answer your security questions.
Set a new password and select Reset Password.
Use email authentication
Select “Email authentication,” then select Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
Open the email and select the link to change your password.
When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.
Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I changed email addresses and now I can't get messages on my iPad anymore. I can't figure out why.

I changed my email address and now I am not receiving text messages on my iPad. Email address has been updated on iPad and iPhone

Hello Kfswift,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage on your iPad. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more abouttroubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up orforward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.
Read this for full information and suggestions to regain access to your BBID >> http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
Your choices are:
--Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
--Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
Good luck.

You question is a little Confusing...

If not..

HT2204 I have a different email address and itunes will not allow me to use my new ID! I cant download anything!

Why is itunes not allowing me to use my new email address? Itunes wont authorize to me to dowload anything - I haven't accessed Itunes for over a year during that time my computer crashed, I had to change email addresses and things got lost...like passwords and so forth and so on...I recieved two emails to [email protected] from itunes saying all was good and then all wasn't good. Please, can you help me!

I suggest you go to Apple's ID site, log in and update everything. Then you will surely get a confirmation mail.
Once all is done, you will most probably be able to log in to the iTunes store again.

I had to change email address.

I had to change email address and I now have a redundant email address which is attached to some of my purchases and downloads. Can I delete the old address somehow and use only my current email address?
It is a pain having two accounts............

Changed Email address how can I still use my old downloads

I changed email addresses and computers. I had a bunch of songs loaded to an old computer I have copied to my new one. Each time I try to play them I get a message wanting me to grant the new machine permissions, I do this but they still will not play??????
Thanks.

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

TS3988 Can someone please help me?   I have an Iphone 5 and Love it except for one thing. I changed email address from yahoo to Gmail and updated it on my Apple ID at Apple. Apple recognizes and accepts this change but Icloud won't update the new email

I have an Iphone 5 and Love it. Except for one thing; I recently changed from ymail email account to a gmail account. I updated it on the
Apple/ Itunes site and it does accept the change. I can still access the APP store and Itunes.
However, sometimes I get a pop up box from Apple showing the old email address and asking me to sign in..... I hit cancel and move on.   But, now Icloud keeps popping up promting me to sign in and it shows the old email which I don't have anymore.... I tried signing in with the old info to clear it off screen of my phone but, it doesn't allow and I hit cancel and it goes away. only to appear later again.... This is so frustrating and annoying.    Is there any way to get the Icloud to update the email address with my Apple ID log in info--without having to delete stuff or lose things on my phone?
Please help?
Dia

Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..

Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.
